| 美国：图巴布·克鲁乐队 |
来自美国的超级混合体——图巴布·克鲁乐队 这个自称为“外来人员”的美国纯乐器乐队混合了西非的马里音乐和美国布鲁斯音乐，乐队于2005年建于北卡罗纳。乐队成员包括：吉他手德鲁·海勒、柯拉琴手贾斯汀·泊金斯、贝司手大卫·普兰斯基、打击乐手卢克·卡兰塔和新任鼓手维克·斯塔夫。 图巴布·克鲁乐队与众不同之处，在于能够将传统乐器运用于现代音乐的演奏当中，而并不是简单的模仿或借用。虽然深受马里吉他大师图雷、塞内加尔猴子面包树乐队等人的影响,他们在非洲寻访的亲身经历，使他们得以获取纯正的音乐资源。近年，图巴布·克鲁乐队在世界各地的音乐节上广受欢迎。 The super musical hybrid from the United States: Toubab Krewe This American instrumental band launched in 2005 calls itself ‘outsider’ (Toubab Krewe) who creatively combines West African music of Mali and American Blues. This North-Carolina-based powerhouse is composed of five young people: the guitarist Drew Heller, Justin Perkins who plays the Kora, David Pransky the bassist, Luke Quaranta the percussionist and the new drummer Vic Stafford. The unique sound of Toubab Krewe comes from their ability to apply traditional instruments to modern compositions and performances instead of simply imitating or borrowing traditions. Even though they are deeply influenced by the guitar master Ali Farka Touré and Orchestra Baobab from Senegal, travelling to Africa had given them genuine music experiences and true inspirations. They are popular in music festivals worldwide. |
